Welcome to canvas and paints, I hope you like what you find here. This is a step by step account of the paintings I do, from pencil outline to finished piece. I mainly paint video game images to comission, to contribute to raising funds for 2 charities, Oxfam and Child's Play.

Sonic the Hedgehog

I love Sonic, it was one of the first games I played on a Master System. I was rubbish, and tried to move the controller to make Sonic go faster, but I loved it! It was my son's Master System, before that, we had an Amiga, my favourite game on that was Settlers, which I've just bought on DS. I had an Atari when they first came out, and played Space Invaders loads. My first ever game though, was Pong - my mum bought it me when I was in my teens. How times change!

Here's the pencil outline:

I've been given a link to the video this is from so I can see the context, but I'm still using a much sharper image to make sure I get Sonic right.
